Whether you're already keeping bees or simply curious about what beekeeping involves, there will be something for you in this class. We'll cover the basics on bees, the progress of bees through the seasons, how to keep bees healthy, and what to look for at this time of year. We’ll also talk about swarming, pest management, and more.The class will also address special concerns of urban beekeeping. Are there city or county restrictions on beekeeping where you live? How can you be the best bee steward possible in an area where bees and people will inevitably meet?The class is designed for beginners so no prerequisite knowledge is required. You will get to see live bees in an observation hive. Instructor:Lynne Rousseau: For over two decades, Lynne has been immersed in the world of beekeeping, has maintained active hives, and developed a deep appreciation for these remarkable pollinators. Beyond managing her own hives, She's passionate about sharing her knowledge through educational outreach, from observation hive demonstrations and honey tastings at senior homes and schools to mentoring veterans through Hives for Heroes. Her urban homestead reflects her broader commitment to environmental sustainability and provides year-round resources for pollinators. Sharing the wonders of bees and the taste of local honey, and witnessing the joy it brings, continues to fuel her passion for beekeeping and environmental education.
